Harley Benton JB-75FL SB Vintage Series
I've been working in Dallas for the last 3 months and have used this bass to practice on for an upcoming gig when I get back home to the UK.
I no longer need the bass and don't want to take it home with me.
It is literally as new, all protective plastic...
Hi all! I wanted to share this experience with you. A couple of years ago I purchased an Harley Benton fretless jazz bass (the Jaco copy), and I have been in love with it ever since. However, lately I've been getting more and more bored with the sunburst finish (I am a big fan of natural/stained...
Hi all,
I'd like to refinish my Harley Benton fretless jazz bass (basically the Jaco fender jazz copy), and I was thinking of getting an Obsidian Wire Solderless Harness to avoid soldering. Their website states that is perfectly compatible with a Fender or a Squier. However, as I never owned...
A while back, I ended up with a Harley Benton JB-20 that was DOA.
A dear friend and great luthier helped me bring it back to life… and then some! Here’s a video:
Hey there, definitely need to upgrade the electronics on my Harley Benton Enhanced MJ-4EB. It's not bad instrument at all, but the active electronics stopped working completely and also used to be extremely noisy.
So I am looking for a way to replace the electronics. Problem is that, as a...
Hi, I'm looking to purchase a cheap hofner clone just to mess around on. I saw that the Inyen Vina may come from the same manufacturer as the Harley Benton one, and cosmetically they pretty much look the same, AND i saw a positive review of the IYV. I'm a cheapo and Thomann shipping is harsh af...
Hi everyone,
My coworker is offering to sell me an e500 for 250 USD which I just can't pass up. My only other bass amp is a Fender Rumble 500 so I don't have any cabs laying around for it. I'm perfectly happy to mess around in headphones for the time being, but I'm curious what I could...
Just got this guy and was pretty disappointed with how the wood looks. Seems like the wood was water damaged before being built into the bass (the finish is fine). I was thinking about doing an exchange to roll the dice again, is that crazy? It does play really well after a setup and sounds...
I've read that HB rebrands many Joyo pedals, but I wonder if these two preamp pedals are really the same inside since they have different setups: the Harley Benton has two footswitches and two mid knobs (and buttons like ground/lift on top of the pedal, not the side), and the Joyo
has a 3-band...
Clearing out the box labeled “Misc” in the music room closet. Hopefully some of it is useful to someone!

I ordered a Harley Benton bass to mod a little.
Phase 1 mods: Zero-glide nut, Hofner Ebony bridge, Roto 88 medium-scale tape wounds, KNA DB-1 piezo in the bridge.
I may order some Hoftner staple pickups or something else. I still need to get the action lowered and the string spacing fixed...
Hello, it is time for me to start looking for a new 5-stringed bass. Right now I have a Harley Benton BZ5000 that I feel have worked for me until now. I feel like the sound of it doesn’t match my standard even if I love the look of the bass. I want a 5-string for under 1000 that sound good...
I'm looking to purchase my first 5 string bass and have my eyes set on the Harley Benton BZ-5000 NT II. Great looking bass with an affordable price tag and good reviews, but there's not a lot of information about it on the world wide web.
In particular, I'm looking at the pickups and wondering...
I played a 6 string in my local guitar shop and got a sudden, burning need to have one... but not that one. It was a piece of crap. After a lot of research, I came to the conclusion that Harley Benton has, hands down, the best spec to price ratio, even when you include shipping. Neck-through was...
So I was mentioning to my girlfriend how cool I think pink basses are and while I was on the phone blabbering to her about it she was on the thomann website buying me one of the new Harley Benton Jazz basses as a surprise birthday gift. A Harley Benton MV-4JB in shell pink :D
I'm shocked at the...
Thanks to Harley Benton for releasing an "affordable" 5 string Jazz Bass in BLACK; This thing looks pretty killer too I must say; loving the whell truss rod adjustment and the 19mm string spacing. Looks like an early Christmas for me. ... I'm done with "modding" Basses now, I'm just gonna get a...
Essentially as a bridge solution until I can afford a Dingwall 6 string :)
Sadly, there are no <500€ options with 6 strings AND a longer than 34'' scale...
It doesn't have to sound amazing, I mostly want to use it to get used to the tuning and to write my songs with it.
Any experiences with...
Up for grabs are these really nice Roswell pickups, that came on my Harley Benton fretless jazz bass. The model is Roswell JBA Alnico-5 JB-Style single coils. Seem to have beefier magnets than normal. They sound really good as most reviews on these basses will demonstrate.
Leads are stock...

Hello fellow Bass Players
I‘m looking forward to Upgrade my 5 String Bass for Recording but i dont know which pickups i should get.
Years ago i‘ve bought an used Harley Benton HBZ 2005 for like 80 Euros but Never Used it because i mainly used my 4 String with flatwounds when i needed to record...
I'm looking to buy my first bass. I am unable to go to a reliable store being that the nearest store is over an hour an a half from me. So I would being buyin online. It seems that Harley Benton is more on the budget side of basses. Is Harley Benton basses worth it being that cheep or what...
Early this year I bought a Harley Benton stingray clone and have been running a TC Electronic BQ250 using headphones (I'm primary a home and hobby player). I've been looking at semi budget cab options for a 2x10 but they're very limited, especially for micro cabs. I was looking at Ampeg with...
I just ordered one recently after looking at it online for a few years and It's coming in 4 days. If you own this bass, what are your honest opinions on it? how was it outside of the box? is it good for the price? Thank you for any comments!
Hi moderators, I'm not sure how to post a sub topic in the Harley Benton thread so hoping you'll move it there if necessary.
So I bought the JB-75 about a month ago and I'm blown away with the sound and the general quality of the bass, but while it's a really excellent guitar for the price -...

It is my first 5-string and I wanted to just dip my toes in, so I had a look for affordable 5 string basses, preferrably in PJ configuration. I had had good experiences with Harley Bentons (Thomann’s own brand) before, and for £311 incl. free shipping I was sure I could not go wrong.
I was not...
This bass as brand new – I wasn’t sure I even wanted to unwrap it, but who wants to buy a bass based on a picture of a box? So you can view the box, the bass being unwrapped, and several pictures of the back and front.
These are wonderful basses. They look great and sound great, and are made...
